I Became a Magical Girl, but I'll Never Be a Substitute

It's actually the author's autobiography. He releases it at each milestone in his life.

Let me put it this way: I initially came for the depressing and angsty elements. At first, I really liked the idea of the female lead and protagonist having a "substitute" relationship, but then another character who liked the protagonist but couldn't have him appeared, and my radar went off. The "substitute" relationship was indeed twisted, but then Isabella appeared out of nowhere and completely changed everything. How many chapters are there where she calls me "master"? I was a little disgusted, but I let it go. While it wasn't as depressing as at the beginning, I could still enjoy seeing other characters who liked the protagonist and the female lead deeply entangled. I like seeing the protagonist resist even when forced, but what does it mean that the protagonist became a witch...?

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to continue reading. Initially, I kept watching because of the forced love and the suspense, but it's become increasingly depressing. A little depression isn't a problem since I enjoy reading, but this constant depressing without any sweet moments (or the plot of Tia genuinely falling for the protagonist) is really frustrating. Furthermore, Tia herself is becoming increasingly uninteresting to me; she doesn't deserve the female lead. For a story to be well-written, the dominant character in a forced love relationship needs a distinctive personality (charisma) or identity. I won't even mention the charisma… she's just a lewd person deceiving herself. As for her identity…

The later-stage artist has become completely immersed in their art. I will withdraw from the internet for ten years to figure out the logic behind post-production.

Tip: Tags in this story include, but are not limited to, Baihe (白合) – needless to say, male to female, the female lead knows this and abuses the protagonist – jumps into sex, just started teaching, cooking, eating Master Jing (similar to), using toys, being used as a velvet ball, imprisonment, stomach sex, causing cancer, forced feeding, yandere – the protagonist is possessive, pleading (changes in chapter 157 later). The female lead is slightly possessive. Huang (惶) – undisguised, prominent description, Liu Bei's story of defeat and drinking is depressing – the protagonist made me quite uncomfortable, mostly due to the female lead, I hope there will be some sweetness later in the story. Overall: There are some toxic points, not obvious, but the updates are really slow.

After Chapter 23, the protagonist's personality undergoes a significant change, drastically different from before. Before Chapter 23, her emotions were vibrant and positive, vividly portrayed; she was a living, breathing person. After Chapter 23, her personality becomes increasingly negative, with sharp contradictions between her inner thoughts and reality. This is evident in her conversations with the doll. While the protagonist tortures the doll, her dialogue with it focuses on increasing the doll's favorability towards the protagonist, revealing a numbness and detachment from her own emotions. This inner conflict and vulnerability propel her from physical pain to a state of mental and emotional devastation, ultimately leading to the stripping away of her personality. At the same time, I see this as an inevitable choice she must make regarding her future path...

What is the ending of this book? Is it a happy ending or a sad ending?

It feels like it's going to have a happy ending.

This ending was far too rushed. They just created a boss that was practically irrelevant to the plot and finished it in a single chapter, at lightning speed.
